This match has shown one thing: Why Drenthe isn't considered a world class player. For all the statistics that we can pull up on him, such as minutes/assists, his tendency to make stupid mistakes, such as with useless stepovers today, is what kills him. I love him as a player, but he needs work.

yes drenthe was the problem today...

why didnt we play the same attacking players as against swansea? i tell you what if tolis was dropped recently as he dipped in training i'd loved to see how saha and cahill fucking do.

My point is we've had a fair share of luck this season so far and a few pens given to us as well. More often than not we won't be in games where we survive due to a Zamora miss or 2 pens being missed. Our position would have should have been a lot lower if it weren't for luck. I can't remember a game this season when we've slaughtered someone and said we should have won it at a canter, by the clear cut chances created. Will hold my hands up if i'm wrong.
